Technology qualification management
DNV helps technology developers by performing a systematic risk-based qualification process that clearly documents the performance of the technology.
Technical analysis & simulations
Simulating how a structure or system responds to certain conditions is vital to complex projects. To deliver this, DNV provides a wide range of analyses and simulation tools.
Technical risk & reliability analysis
Today's systems are growing increasingly complex, with a progressive impact on project risk and production availability. DNV offers a wide range of risk and reliability services to manage both technical and project risk.
Materials technology
Many of the component or system failures that take place in the oil and gas industry are related to materials selection or quality issues. DNV offers a broad range of services within materials technology and laboratory testing worldwide.
Laboratory testing
In order to support the global energy and shipping sectors with state-of-the-art laboratory services, DNV offers a wide range of testing capabilities, combined with strong multi-disciplinary knowledge and experience.
Securing confidence from all stakeholders
A fast-growing energy market spurs the need to develop new technologies. However, you need to prove that your innovation actually works as intended. To develop new solutions and bring the efficiently, safely and credibly to the market, DNV offers a recognised technology qualification process. The process could either be purely technical or related to the execution of a project.
Our approach
DNV’s technology qualification differs from typical third-party services such as classification, certification, and verification, which basically confirm that the technology is in compliance with specified codes and procedures. Qualification, however, is defined as the process of providing the evidence that the technology will function within specific limits with an acceptable level of confidence.
Benefits
Our technology qualification process and associated services aim at assisting in building and operating new technologies in a financially sound, safe, reliable and environmentally friendly way.
2008-05-07New tool with speedy predictions of how heavy weather will affect risers, mooring and umbilicals
OTC, Houston, USA: In order for offshore operations to cope with more extreme weather conditions, DNV has developed the new Riser Production Line software suite. Its automated and efficient calculations dramatically reduces the analysis time of how heavy weather and operating conditions will strain installations such as risers, moorings and umbilicals.
2008-05-07Energy-based approach will enhance the safety of LNG operations
OTC, Houston, USA: DNV has developed a risk-based approach which analyses the risk of accidental spills from LNG transport. Managing the overall risks by preventing collisions with sufficient energy to release LNG is the only acceptable approach to running the marine operations at LNG terminals safely.
